Axeman at Cutter's Creek (2013) Reviews

• Wow, did this suck!

  danocaster2014-06-19

  Midnight Releasing has dropped another cinematic turd on us poor horror fans who just want to see a decent flick! I swear, the acting was porno film quality. It really sits there and for 1 hour and 45 minutes!. I also have to comment on the lousy camera-work. Looks like it was shot on my uncles Hi8 camcorder. This thing reeks of low budget. Maybe no budget.Another thing, it very very very boring. All I wanted was a decent horror movie, it didn't have to be The Exorcist or something, just entertaining.Total waste of time. Yuck! Also, the editing was poor, and the sound wasn't very good. Those kind of things can really ruin the general atmosphere. Anyways, I give it 1.

• hard to follow

  I was hopeful this would be one of those really awesome budget horrors, it was not. The story line was really hard to follow and didn't really make much sense. The actors didn't seem to fit the story line, which again didn't really make much sense anyway. A bunch of adults dressing and acting like teenagers - they may as well have had teenage actors and made it a general slasher horror flick. At first I thought they were meant to be in high school but as I was watching, I was realising how old they looked, then one of them mentioned something about "when they were in college" - hinting they are their late 20s. The actors were OK but overacted at times. The camera work was rubbish, jumping all over the place randomly, if it was on purpose they didn't do it enough to make it obvious - it just seemed like really bad camera work and they just couldn't be bothered to fix it/re-shoot it. Also the sound on this movie was horrible. you could hear every little thing, especially when they were sitting on the beds or something, you could hear the bed creaking beneath them - this is just one example. I did think it was cool how they seemed to take inspiration from "Friday 13th" or something similar with the way they shot the movie: how the stabbing was not shown etc - I'm not sure if that was intentional though or just the product of a really low budget. Overall really bad movie, waste of my time.

• Terrible

  I am a horror fan. This did not seen like a horror. The acting was terrible. I was expecting a lot of axe slashing (of which there was very little) The good/excellent ratings must be from people who were involved with this flick. Overall I DO Not recommend this unless you have time to kill

• My Boyfriend Thought It Was Excellent

  My boyfriend thought it was excellent but he's also an idiot! Hahaha! But in all seriousness, we were out at Redbox looking for something decent, found this and watched it. It was a fun film. Like some critics have said, it's uncertain why these "friends" would actually hang around each other when all they seem to do is berate each other and tear each other down. But then again that's where most of the humor comes from. It is low budget but handled well. Good script. Good direction. Nothing is great - but it's good. My boyfriend thought it was excellent but that's because of the ample butts, boobs and bloody kills. I think it was "good" because of the story and the direction. Take that with a grain of salt though if you're like my boyfriend;) Between great and good, I give it a 8.5.

• That's this Cutter Creek?

  The film opens with a man with a scar over his left eye (Ray Trickitt), another one with a scar over his right eye (Carlos Javier Castillo) and Tiffany Shepis sitting in between them. This is all immaterial as they die in the first scene by the Axeman (Scot Pollard) aka Bill, a mountain of a man of which we know absolutely nothing about...and never will. There is a bag full of money estimated to be about $4 million dollars, although my personal estimate is less as that amount would weigh 88 pounds and be a struggle to tote around...just saying. A college reunion is booked at the same cabin in the woods as the first killings. The college crowd has played musical chairs with their partners and now are on their second round, with first round losers still holding grudges, everyone seems to love and hate everyone as the film goes into insult mode for the grossly immature. Why they had to walk to the cabin when there is a road that goes up to the driveway is not really explained. The group consists of a lot of hard bodies and a fat guy (Nihilist Gelo) with a camera. Plot spoiler...the black guys doesn't die first (Joston Theney). They are all unlikable and none really qualify as "the final girl." My money was on Tammy (Jamie Bernadette). The $4 million or whatever the amount is still laying around outside in the same non-weathered bag, as Bill appears to have no use for the money, other than to let people find it, thinking they got it made and then get a knife jabbed in them (the actually killing weapon of choice and not an axe.) At 28 minutes into the film we get a verbal description of the opening scene that was really awful narration...thank you Stephen Eith for droning your lines. This may have some appeal to the younger crowd who enjoy sexually oriented insults that could use more creativity. Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Elissa Dowling, Erin Marie Hogan)
